HEART GAME: REQUIEM (run 1)

[idolpro]

You awaken in the ☆ZRAEL dorm common room. It’s dark. Darker than usual, and the reason why is immediately apparent: the lamps are all extinguished, the stars have disappeared, and the moon has shifted to new. The ocean below the glass panes of the floor is silent and still. Everything feels cold and unmoving, not unlike a painting.

[ with an agility roll of 16, he fails to dodge and takes the kick with a grunt, but before she has time to get off the ground, he stomps down on the wrist of her sword-holding hand with a natural 20 (and a 3 damage roll if that still matters), trying to get her to release her grip long enough to kick the weapon away. ]

[stakesthesame]

That'd actually come out to a 7 dmg for the nat 20, nice job.

But she can't avoid that-- she releases the sword as something snaps, and she cries out in pain, and reaches up to grab him by the shirt and drag him to the ground next to her; 14 to hit and 2 dmg.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ down he goes, landing on the ground next to her—while they're both down there, he attempts to wrestle her into a sort of Judo pin, one arm around her neck and the other securing her arm, but he crit fails that so RIP. ]

[stakesthesame]

Yeah, nothin' doin. She immediately squirms out of that and straddles him, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him back down to the ground. 27 to hit; 4 damage.

"Ready to give up?" she pants.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he's obviously not in a position to dodge, and he wheezes with a pained expression as he slams hard against the ground.

still not in nearly enough pain to stop talking shit, though. ]

Why? It's finally interesting! Gyahahahaha—!

[ and he bucks up against the ground, attempting to throw her off of him, 20 to hit for 1 damage ]

[stakesthesame]

Whoops. Her grip loosens even that he can shove her back, and she tries to throw a punch at the side of his head--

And succeeds with an 11, for 4 damage.





Your vision goes white.

[ can't believe I'm gonna die to Nemesis a SECOND time ]

[stakesthesame]

I mean to be fair you don't DIE at least.

You come back to consciousness sitting up against one of the cave walls, with a medicinal taste in your mouth. You have been restored to 10hp.

Nemesis is sitting in front of you with an empty bottle. "You okay?"

[carnivorouscarnival]

. . .

[ winces as he sits up a little straighter ]

A lot stronger than the real thing, aren'tcha? Must be the power of love or something.

[stakesthesame]

She flushes, deeply, and says, "-- I've just been here a long time, is all.

'Sides. That's a uh. A strong word. When I haven't known her all that long."

[carnivorouscarnival]

You haven't known her that long, but you've been here a long time? Which is it?

[stakesthesame]

"I've been here since basically the beginning. S'not like she's had memories for all that long, you know," she says, frowning. "A long time in context of everyone else being here, I guess..."

[carnivorouscarnival]

My point being, time doesn't make for much of an argument in fucked up amnesialand.

Not that I'm really invested either way—that's between you two.
